Any one else notice how quickly these Genesis-style atomizers go through juice? Seems I'm constantly refilling them throughout the day.
I'm not sure if I'm vaping them more or all that spitting and sputtering wastes juice.
IDK about the juice, but they are murder on my 18350's
Very true, even my 18650's on the Provari don't seem to last as long - it seems that they require a lot more wattage to provide the same vaping experience as with say a clearo or cartomizer.
I would have to agree that the airhole is too tight from the factory. With the way I vape I need it to be a bit more airy, but maintain dome tightness. I'll probably go with 1/16 bit. I'll also sand the cap down a little to get the airhole at proper alighnment. Right now I don't screw the top on all the way it it works great, no leaking issues and the seal is still tight. It won't feel wobbly even if you don't tighten it down all the way. so you can keep it like that if you choose to do so, but for me I like the way the tiamat looks when its flush; a very sleek look, so I choose to sand it down.
It's been a day and she's vapin well. The materials used with this is very nice and its heavy guys. Feels real solid, the threading is very smooth, buy not as butter as the provari threads, you can take that for what its worth. But its threading is better than the threading of my lambo, and its better than the threading on the griffin by miles. The stainless steel finish is very attractive and the are all going in a uniform direction. In some other genesis atty, I see some in going multiple directions.
On a sad note though, I dropped my provari last night from about shoulder height and it left it with 4little scuff marks. Still works and functions, and it still looks good, but you guys must know how I feel.

I'd highly suggest to anyone considering drilling out the air-hole in any of these Genesis atty's to use a bit the same or smaller than the existing hole and ream the hole out a bit at a time till the draw is to your liking.
I think you may find 1/16" a tad too big. Officially that translates to 1.6mm, but unless you use a drill press the bit will wallow some and you'll end up even larger. Note many have found the Griffith's new 1.5mm hole too airy.
These seem perfect (except the title doesn't quite match up?)

With these you can work up to the perfect draw.
As far as the threads I just worked the threads inside of the cap with some steel wool (000).
It may have to do with how big the coil is compared to the clearo's and such which have coils so much smaller not sure .
Always did enjoy the flavor of the genesis types though over the silica style setup but were all different . ; )
Some prefer 1.5mm size hole. The 1/16th drill bit comes out to 1.5875mm and like a poster mention a little wobble and that hole is bigger.
For me 1 to 1.2mm is my favorite as 1.5 is much to airy for me .
At Ace hardware they have a section with drill bits that are numbered like #60 which equals 1.016mm a hair over 1 mm for example.
Here is link to a helpful drill bit chart .

I like the 1.2mm myself; on my Vivi Tanks I used a 1/16" drill bit as per a tutorial I saw. A bit on the airy side. And as Willyb noted, be careful when drilling as the bit wobbles. When I drilled my AGA, I used a dremel - before I turned it on I put the bit up against the hole then slowly turned up the speed, holding constant pressure on it. I used a real slow speed, just enough to keep it from stalling. When almost through, I stopped and did the rest of the hole by hand. (On the Griffins, I did the holes entirely by hand - the material was soft enough)
Good advice,and thanks for the link. I opened the hole on mine to 1.25 and am very pleased with it. I tried the new cap at 1.5 and found it too large.
See my blog, stainless-steel-mesh-vs-silica-rope, for some of my thoughts on this - about 2/3 of the way down.

Try it now - must have f'ed it up the first time! Or... it may need to be moderated before others can see it; I was able to get to it, but perhaps 'cause I own it and can edit it. My Profile, however, shows '0 Blog Entries'. Unsure, this is the first blog I've posted; let me know if it works.
And check out this thread which prompted me to write it.

hmm, I was just looking at it through that link... I'm not real sure how these blogs work - maybe as I said, a moderator needs to approve it, I dunno. Maybe check back later in the day?
Edit:Think I got it, now. It was saved in draft mode. I deleted and re-posted. I will edit the link in the previous message.

Yeah, it does. I had to delete the original blog because I saved it in draft mode - thats why it showed as 0 blogs in my profile and no one could get to it. I finally figured it out! duh It would not let me change the draft, though, just had to delete and repost.
works good
great blog, good info.
setting up for first recoil, then on to rba's if all goes well.
any thoughts on cotton vs silica
